I drink Harney & Sons Cinnamon Hot Spice Tea. I get it on line. It tastes so good you don't need to add anything to it. Maybe the cinnamon even helps lower my BG???? Not likely, but give it a try!

Celestial herb teas have some great flavors that are quote cozy and require very little sweetening.
The BlueBerry is wonderful, as is the Tangerine Zinger. Go buy a few boxes and give them a try.

Hot Water with Lemon
1 Cup bullion Soup or broth

Herbal tea... some don't really need sweetner... you just need to find one you like.

Love green tea, but when I need something more sinful it's hot cocoa. Unsweetened cocoa powder, heavy cream with some water (can't use milk without spikes) & liquid chocolate flavored stevia because one can't have too much chocolate!

Blueberry tea sounds great.

I would love to be able to use Stevia, but it's not locensed anywhere in the EU.

Hi Gerri

I make hot cocoa from unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered milk, hot water, and sweetner (usually splenda) The powdered milk doesn't seem to raise my glucose and with enough of it in there you get the creamyness that heavy cream offers. I've also tried it with regular coffeemate to add creaminess... but I notice that does raise my glucose.

Hi Sylvia,

Will have to try powdered milk. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sylvia, if you're aiming for low carbs, actual cream or half and half would be better than coffeemate or even regular or powdered milk. Somehow cream has less carbs than milk, and certainly less than artificial creamers.

I have been eating very low carb since New Years and have weaned my way off sweeteners. I have been drinking cocoa made with a teaspoon of plain cocoa powder and a couple tablespoons of half and half stirred up, then I fill the rest of the cup with boiling water.

It took a while to get used to, now it tastes fine. Very much like the way I got used to drinking coffee without sugar years ago. Quite cheap too as the cocoa powder lasts forever.

my gramma use to make hot cocoa from baking cocoa and milk. she would add sugar but you don't have to. it's a bit bitter but it's hot and helps take the chill off. i use to like it once in a blue moon. maybe the splenda tablets would help sweeten it up if you can handle those. i know that they don't have the fillers that the powder has.
